Good luck with your efforts this weekend loosecannon!! I will be watching for you to post the results (I love to tinker also) I seen a bumber sticker the other day that read "If it ain't Broke..Fix it till it is"!!!! Hell Ya :) Hope it works just like you planned, Hooty

Hey switchkit, just a thought..but if your gonna replace the chip you might want to consider installing an ic socket..they're cheap as dirt and sure do make reinstalling a breeze!! No fear of damage from heat or static..usually pick em up at rat shack.Just count the number of pins and give them...

I have done this mod that loosecannon recommened to an older 148 & a couple of uniden Grants and was very impressed :) Put the variable power on the swr cal spot and get 25 watt am / 30 ssb...nice & clean!!!Awesome mod

Hey guys..gotta silver faced Jackson with no audio on am or ssb..receive works fine...any clues? Thanks, Hooty

"Older" stereo equipment (haha) I have some... cheap tv's on rabbit ears come to mind real quick :) I had a neighboor (the only one who complained) that I was coming in on his computer speakers... Tried low pass filters without much luck. Took some torrid chokes over and wrapped speaker wires...

You got that one right Karo!!! As most of the other exports are made by or have ranger"s help. Wonder how many (mosfets)they can squeeze into one and still look like a mobile? :?:

Sounds like an alignment/tuneup needed...try to tune/peak on channel 20. I have done this mod on several Cobras, Unidens, Galaxies, etc. You can play with cap values to get more out also :wink:

Hello RfStaff, Sorry to hear about your bad experience with Clay's, hope all turns out well!! I'm sure posts like these have the deserved impact on thier buisness :oops: Not sure where your at in Florida but if near Daytona give us a shout on 32 am!! Peace Hooty
